I'm not looking for an argument, so you don't have to be guarded. I'm simply wanting to learn more about your belief, or absence of belief.
I don't take anything on faith, I need supportable evidence for everything I believe.

There may be eternal things, human faith is not one of them.
brewer, could you please tell me, is "atheism" considered a human religious belief system, even though a deity isn't worshipped? Or would an atheist consider themselves 100% void of any spiritual belief. That they simply exist one day, and they don't the next.
Thank you!!
Atheism is a reaction the a religion statement not a religious statement itself.
I would expect if someone asked you if you believed that Gansehe the elephant headed god was real you'd say no because its ridiculous.
Atheism is the same thing but substitute Yahweh for ganeshe.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
